Sarkawt Hamad (NL)

Amsterdam DJ Sarkawt Hamad allows new sound bridges to emerge in her sets. Exposed to the city's broad and vibrant music scene from the age of 17, this Dutch artist with a Kurdish background is known for her deep warm sound, subtly interwoven vocals and emotive techno, dub techno, breaks, bass and house. Her unconventional approach to layering and narrative prioritises organic transitions from one energy or rhythm to another, rather than continuity in genre.
